The day had finally come...

Time to hop in the car (or Expedition) and let's

HIT THE ROAD!!

Checking out the flowers...

Jalapeno plants... can't wait to stuff the peppers!

May 25, 2009 - My "New" Swing

We have been talking about building a swingset or play house

for Jonas this summer, but he just couldn't wait any longer...

We went out to Home Depot and picked up a swing,

took our double swing off.. and here's Jonas' "new" swing!

SO MUCH FUN!!

ALL SMILES!


He wanted us to push him higher!

"Not high enough, Mommy!"
I think he's going to love the rides at the fair

when he gets older.

May 13, 2009 - Summer Pool Fun!!

We were invited to our first pool party of the year!

Jonas had a blast in all of the fun pools!!

Looks like we'll have to get a pool with a slide

for this summer...

Loves the goggles too! Maybe he'll be a diver!

Just-a-swingin'!

May 10, 2009 - Mother's Day

We spent a great day together as a family!

We started the day off by going to a wonderful

church service at Cedar Creek West.

Prior to Mother's Day, Jonas made me a wonderful blue,

yellow & green ceramic frame, so we HAD to take

some pictures to put in it!

We also went for a bike ride in Augusta

and took some fun pics there.

Don't forget to stop & smell the flowers!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

He LOVES his soccer ball!!


He's a great kicker... but we still need to work on passing!

Your turn!!

May 6, 2009 - Outdoor Exploration!

Playing in the front yard is a rare occassion.

There's so many fun things to play with... like sticks!

Why do we need toys?!

Jonas loves all the flowers he finds growing in our yard!

Time to rest...
